Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

VW passat diesel, Chris Harris ran one as a camera car for a while and apparently loved it, though he eventually had to replace it with something quicker. Could pick one up for £1k I reckon

Funny you should mention that, as someone (I won't say who as it was a PM) just sent me a message offering this:

2004 Skoda Octavia estate, Tdi diesel.
10 months mot and taxed until Oct or Nov.
123,000 miles, 1 previous owner.

Which sounds interesting.
